Hey All! I have found a cool site for getting some inspiration for creating video game music.. straight from japan.  Its called muzie. Its a independent artists site and they all post their songs there. They have a whole category called Instrumental-Games! FYI, In the japanese dropdown list above the list of songs, select the third option to sort by popularity. That makes it easier to hear the "good" songs http://www.muzie.co.jp/cgi-bin/genre.cgi?id=anime Check it out! ------------------ |

That's a very cool site! I have all sorts of new music to listen to while surfing and coding now.  Is there a certain program that is normally used to make this music? |

I normally use the free version of MadTracker. http://www.madtracker.org/ Thats what i wrote the bible dave jungle theme with. Also you can google for soundfonts and audio samples to get some instruments to work with. ------------------ |

Most people use Reason, it's about $500 I think. Dunno if that's what they use in Japan. Anyway, nice find Penny. Just when I was getting bored of all my music. |

Woah. Reason is cool but too rich for my blood! :P Check out Mint Jam. Their guitar solos totally rock. http://www.muzie.co.jp/cgi-bin/artist.cgi?id=a011858 The songs lower in the list are better than the ones at the top. I can't vouch for their lyrics, but I can honestly say that I listen only for the music. (because I don't understand japanese  )------------------ |

The site is a little cluttered, but I like some of the English song titles such as "Wishing to curse kindly" "grace with age color" and my favorite "The puddle in eyes". It's quite a task, programming a game, and creating art and music assets in two weeks. I used to use mod trackers a lot back in the day (11 years ago), but I'm a little rusty, now. ------------------ |
